Hey guys, what’s up?

I’m here to bring all the shortcuts that I use to develop on Xcode.

I’ll abbreviate the keys for the sake of simplicity:

⌘ – command
⌥ – option
^ – control

1 – Enter the definition of function/type/method/etc. Did you already need to answer the question “how this is defined? I want to know what this function does quickly!” Just put the cursor over the function and press:

^+⌘+j

If you're a mid/senior iOS developer looking to improve your skills and salary level, join this 100% free online crash course. It's available only until April 28th, so click to get it now!

2 – Back where you were this is when you go check other files and want to go back where you were working, very useful for fast visualization Just press:

^+⌘+ ←

3 – automatic indentation – the salvation shortcut. For months indentation was done manually, but now I’m free of this burden! Just select the code for auto-indentation and press:

ˆ+i

4 – run on simulator/device I know everyone knows this but it’s ok to remember. Just press:

⌘+r

For now, this was the most useful shortcut I’ve found. If you use others just comment below!
